Alan Saxon plays in the British Open. Murderers try to stop him from winning. Pretty good, by Edward Marston.

This " freebie " has been sitting on my Kindle forever ...
It deserves a solid 4.5 stars ! Golf is not my thing , but as a backdrop in the story that really didn't matter . Strong characters and a plot that keeps you turning pages .

Enjoyable read particularly if you like golf

[Cat · Rating 2 out of 5]

Weak plot, motives of protagonist often seem confused and not well thought out.
